Mrs. Gail is a bridge whist fiend, and her heavy losses and business reverses ruin him. He goes to a distant town to begin over again, sending remittances to his wife. Notwithstanding her emphatic promises, she slides back into the gambling whirl of society and neglects her children, and returns home one evening to find the little girl dead. A woman friend dies, leaving an orphan girl of the same age as Ruth, and Mrs. Gail adopts her, fearing to tell Gail of Ruth's death. The boy and girl learn to love each other as the years go by, and when Gail returns he surprises them in a love scene. In an emotional scene in which the father, mother and children take part, the situation is cleared and Gail's forgiveness is obtained. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
